SEECIFIGATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 739,712 dated September 22, 1903. Application filed February 2, 1903. Serial No. 141.628. (No model-3 To aZZ whom it may concern: I

Be it known that BENJAMIN F. P RKINS, deceased, late of the city of Holyoke, in the county of Harnpden, and CHARLES E. POPE, of South Hadley, in the county of Hampshire, State of Massachusetts, did during the lifetime of said BENJAMIN F. PEnKINs invent a new and useful Improvement in Paper-Reeling lvlachines,and that JOHN LEwIs PERKINS, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Holyoke aforesaid, having been duly constituted and appointed one of the executors of the estate of said BENJAMIN F. PERKIN deceased, and having been duly constituted and appointed conservator of and for ELLEN 1V1. PERKINS, incapacitated,the other executor of the estate of said BENJAMIN F. PERKINS, deceased, and said OIIARLEs 'E. POPE, do hereby declare that'the following is a full, clear, and exact description of said invention.

This invention relates to improvements in machines for reeling paper, the paper being run onto the'rotary reel from a plurality of supply-rolls; and the object of the invention is to have the reel constituted an automatic counter, so that clearly-defined series or sets when the paper is cut in a straight line parallel with the axis of the reel and all the paper which had been wound thereon removed therefrom and laid out in a flat condition every twelve sheets thereof or other number,

as predetermined, will be edgewise slightly and fixed driving-pulleys thereon and having offset from the next twelve or other desired number of the sheets. v

The improved machine'comprises a reelingframe for the paper .mounted for rotation and having rotating means'therefor andsusceptible of a periodical reciprocatory motion on the line of its axis and having combined therewith means for imparting once toevery given number of turns of the reel the proper degree of endwise motion to the latter.

The improved reel is illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in Wl1lGl1-- Figure 1 is a side elevation of'the reel and the supports for a plurality of paper-supply rolls and such rolls mounted thereon. Fig.

2 is a front elevation of the reel, portions being broken out and shown in section for clearer illustration. Fig. 3 is a perspective view of the preferred form of cam employed in the mechanism which offsets the reelin a reciprocatory manner relatively to the fixed positions of the paper-supply rolls.

Similar characters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all of the views.

In the drawings,Arepresents the supporting-frame for a plurality of supply-rolls a for tissue or other paper, and Brepresents the supporting-frame for the reel 0, The end journals of the supplyrolls have thereon sheaves or fixed wheels I), around which are the straps 0, connected to a stem 0 which is screw-threaded and passed through a perforation in a stud o affixed on the frame, the thumb-nut d screwing and drawing on the stem and resisted by the stud serving to place the strap in proper tension for its required frictional action upon the sheaves fixed on the arbors of the paper-supply rolls.

The reel, as shown,is constituted by a plurality of bars f f, arranged in parallelism with the axis of the reel and supported from the reel-shaft g by the radial duplicated arms f. The reel-shaft g is rotatable in' the journalbearings i t of the frame B, and this shaft is also capable of a suitable degree of endwise movement in and through said'journal bearin gs.

E represents the driving-shait, having loose the pinion-wheel j, which is in mesh with the gear-wheel j affixed on theend of the reelshaft g. Upon the reel-shaft g is affixed a circularhuh k, which is provided with a comparatively wide annular groove m, in which engages the cams o 0, which vare formed on or carried by the disk or wheel (1, affixed upon the short counter shaft g having thereon
